I took my '24 M4 CompX into the dealership for its 1200 mile break in service. While I was waiting I was playing around on the BMW app on my phone I for some reason I will never understand pressed the remote start and even confirmed it was what I wanted to do, I think this was out of dehydration which lead to some kinda confusion/disorientation.

I immediately hear a and loud sound coming from the service bay and a lot of commotion. The service advisor comes running over to me and says the car was empty of oil when I did that and that my warranty was void. They tried to get my car down from the lift as soon as they could but it ran atleast 1-2 min without oil in it. The car still drives but barely and it is making literally the worst smell. How badly did I #rekt my engine.

Should I just go trade it in for something else instead of taking my chances with it?

    I think this says it all.

    Running an engine with no lubrication is not going to be good for it. And now you’ve put oil in it and it isn’t driving very well, then that tells me some very bad things have happened inside.

    You’re looking at a big bill for repair.
